PyTivo server appears grayed out in HDUI

I've just bought a new Premiere, and I notice that my PyTivo server appears grayed out and with an orange exclamation point icon in My Shows if I use the HDUI.

If I switch to the SDUI, it appears bright and with a PC icon, just as it does on my TiVo HD.

Regardless of which UI I use, I can access the PyTivo server, browse, and download content just fine, so obviously there's nothing actually wrong, but that display mode would suggest that not everything is quite right.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Is this something that has been addressed in a newer version of PyTivo? I haven't updated mine in several months, on the basis of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Thanks for that - I did search for "exclamation point" but only in the subjects. Per that thread, I've tried setting Zeroconf to True and restarting PyTivo, but still I see ! and a grayed-out name. I guess it's time I updated my PyTivo.

You should, but it's unlikely to help. Zeroconf is on by default already. This is the relevant part: "This would also apply if your Zeroconf packets weren't getting through, for whatever reason (a lot of people seem to have trouble with this)." Zeroconf relies on multicast. Apparently, a lot of (crappy) routers have problems with it. You may have an option in the router's menus to allow it.

I'm not sure how the router would figure into it, since the PyTivo PC and the TiVo are both on the same LAN segment and thus traffic between them doesn't pass through the router.

Perhaps the assumption is that the router is also the wireless access point, but that's not the case here - I have a separate AP that does no packet filtering.

Still, it's an avenue I may need to explore, since it's still not working even after upgrading to the latest wmcbrine git. I did try changing the "beacon" setting from 192.168.0.255 to 192.168.0.115 - the explicit address of my Premiere - but it made no difference.

Understood. I've put it back to .255 for the sake of consistency. One thing I notice is that while my HD makes only one GET call when the server is restarted, the Premiere repeats its GET two, three, or even four times. It's as though it's not getting the answer it was expecting, so it asks again. Is that possible/likely?
